It’s little secret that stepper motors are everywhere in FDM 3D printers, but there’s no real reason why you cannot take another type of DC motor like a brushless DC (BLDC) motor and use that instead.

As machine builders push for higher throughput, tighter control accuracy, and smaller footprints, the selection of servo ...

Today’s electric motor drive market offers system designers more options than ever before. On the AC side, motor drives provide highly flexible solutions with a growing array of features like variable ...

How the challenges of electric-motor control design can be overcome using digital twins in all design and test phases. How automated testing within a continuous and integrated toolchain is able to ...

Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Single-chip microcontrollers geared to servo and other industrial/EV control applications help engineers cost-effectively design multiple-axis systems. As manufacturing ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...
